Vietnam War 68-69

This is where I started my lifelong love of photography. For the first half of my tour, as an Architect, I designed and supervised construction projects. Then I discovered photography! For the second half of my tour, I was a "Combat Photographer". A few of these images were taken by another combat photographer whose name I cannot recall.
These photos have been in storage for 35 years. I have some negatives that I have scanned. For other shots, all I have are prints. I also have a few slides that have mold on them. All were developed and printed using water that one can only describe as wet. A glass of it was brown and barely clear.
If you think this Gallery has merit, please vote so others may see it.

Looking for CHARLES SHAW - Taylorsville / MS.(not sure about spelling of last Name). Born properbly early 1940. Was stationed in Germany 1965/1966 and went to Vietnam from Germany. If you know him, or know details where I can find him or has Pictures please kontact: manuelaleu@web.de Thank you very much

I am looking for anyone who may have known my dad and served with my dad. My dad talked very little about his service during the Vietnam War. He was Sgt. Harold Grubbs with the 25th infantry division. He spoke of being near the Mekong Delta. Can anyone give any ideas of what unit he might have served with and where? He passed away last Thursday Feb. 12, 2015. Exposure to Agent Orange weakened his heart to the point that the cardiologists said he had the heart of a 80 yr old man even though he was only 66. Thanks.

My brother Granville Lynn Noland aka "Shorty" served in the US Army Company D, 20th Engineer Battalion (combat), APO 96318, 4 February 1969 to 3 February 1970 There was an incident that happened. It occurred during a convoy mission from Kontum to Dak Tho. About halfway to Dak Tho one of the dump trucks back wheel went over a land mine and was blown up. It was a mine that was missed during the mine sweep. Several soldiers including Lynn were injured by this explosion. He is receiving VA disability, during his disability review they asked him to account for his time spent in Vietnam, he included this incident. The government has stated that this incident did not occur. While this does not bother my brother it does offend me. The men and women that serve this country should be recognized. While this incident will not change his disability rating, it should not be disregarded. Lynn’s memories are starting to fade quickly and I want him to know now that the government recognizes his sacrifices during his service. A few of the men who served with him are: Hooper Davison Dennis Oliver Mark S Smith David Will Ronald Vizzo

If anyone knows these men or remember this incident I would appreciate an email alicetaylor62@gmail.com

Thank You Alice Taylor (Bigbee)

I've been trying to locate my Platoon Sgt. James Gordon or anyone who knew him. He was my instructor at PLC/OCS training in Quantico MCB, Quantico, VA in the summer of 1972. He had served two tours in Vietnam prior to duty at Quantico. He made E-7 while at Quantico. He changed my life in all the best ways and is a tribute to all the Corps stands for. I think of him often and would just like to thank him for the very positive effect he has had on my life.

Today I posted the followingon Woody's web for 3/187. I want to thank you for sharing your photos. When my husband was shipped out of country, his camera and photos disappeared. Here s my post in case your readers have any info to help. Thanks and Welcome Home! My post: My husband was on Team 7, chosen by the Col. The 4 men on Team 7 all had red hair. When he was medivaced out, his team was the last one that was together. His job was recon. He had been in a pagoda when it was hit with RPG rounds. The blast gave him a concussion and caused him to have seizures. He had schrapnel all over his body when he reached the hospital in Japan. After that firefight, he said hhe was dazed and acted like he was on autopilot. He remained in country for some tie. When he was medivaced outy, he was having a problem with sores all over his body. They told him it was something rare and he needed to be sent back to the states for treatment. He returned to Fitzsimons. Subsequently he has applied for a Purple Heart but was turned down because he could not give the location of the incident or names and verification of others to prove the incident really happened.

His name is Jerome Witt (aka Jerry), after their medic was killed, he took the Aid bag on missions and the guys called him Doc. He also carried the radios and ammo. He was there in ’68-’69. He can only remember one name and that is Ernie who was from Jacksonville Florida and had worked for White’s Grocery before being drafted. I am looking for anyone that can remember Team 7 and help locate any of the members. Perhaps someone knows the First Sgt name and he might have some recollection. Jerry’s military license to move freely about VietNam and to live in villages, was signed by aman named Ralph H Ballard (rank unknown). Perhaps he may have a recollection. Our phone number is 360458-7062 if you have any details that might help.

I see how Jerry struggles with things even today. He has PTSD and I can’t even imagine the things he saw and lives with today. I appreciate this site and am proud and thankful for him and what he has been through. I am thankful to all of his brothers of this war and all I can say is THANK YOU AND WELCOME HOME!!!

I was in the 61st. Transportation Company in Dong Ha from Jan,1968 to Dec, 1968. I have searched so many sights trying to locate anyone from my company. It's it never existed. We hauled fuel, water, ammo and other supplies to the outlying firebases. In Dec,1968 my company rotated back to Cam Rahn bay where they were decommissioned in late 1969 and became the 360th Transportation Company. If anyone knows anything about this please email me.

My name is Matthew and I am trying to find anyone who served with my uncle with the 101st during the Vietnam War.. Unfortunately my Uncle passed in 1988. His name was Weldon Wiladay Reagor Jr. He went by the nickname of Buzz by our family but would not know if he would have gone by that while he served. I only know the little of what my father told me. I was told he served three tours of combat duty and was in a RECON company and was a Sargent. I believe he was in Vietnam the years of 1966 thru 1969 or 1967 thru 1970. He was a tall man of 6ft4 and had red/brown hair. If anyone knows him from those days please message me at this site. Thank you.

My name is John W. Miller and served with the 25th Div, company A, 2nd/22nd mech unit, arrived in Viet Nam Sept 10, 1969. Stationed in Cu Chi and Tay Ninh, seriously wounded by land mine on Dec 10th, exactly three months after arriving. My vivid memory, moving into Cambodia early 1970. MY company A was to move down trail early next morning; gong ho CO from company B moved down trail first instead of my company and was wiped out. 50 caliber gunners were attacked first by VC RPG's. I was a 50 caliber gunner in company A.

My name is Bobby Biancamano. I was an Air Traffic Controller at Tan Son Nhut from Feb 68 to Feb 69. My friends and I spent a lot of time at an orphanage in Saigon. Would like to know if anyone out there remembers that special time in our lives.

My uncle was in a MASH unit during the vietnam war. His military records were burned along with some 16 to 18 million others. Spent hours on the web trying to find a way to find some records on him. Do not have his military ID number. The only thing I have is his birthdate and SS#. Anyone know how I can get some military records for him so he can be buried at a military cemetery? He recently passed away a couple of days ago and so far we can find no records to substantiate his military service, but he,indeed, served in Vietnam. Can anyone help me through the government maze to find those records. Thanks.

Did anyone who Served from '68 to '69 Know a David Lombardo in the Army 1st Cavalry Division Comments Are appreciated and I'd also like to say that I regret that any of these wars ever have to take place. It isn't right that we have to lose loved ones and friends. I'm not some hippie I Believe its horrible that this killing and Conflict and destruction of this beautiful Planet ever has to happen I hate to see the suffering of the human race continue plus including the fact that wars destroy good land to grow food and support plant life and animal life. We're not the only living things on this planet and its NOT just Man-kind's Planet. This Planet belongs to all LIFE sentient or not.

IN 1967 THE 173rd Airborne Brigade AKA "Sky Soldiers" stormed hill 822 Dak to Vietnam. An unnamed Sargent in Company B was awarded the Silver Star. 2 Bronze Stars. 2 Purple Hearts. He returned them giving the reason you don't need a medal to do what is right. The surviving members of the 173rd know who he is but will respect his wishes and still refuse to talk about it. Does anyone know who this humble hero is? For those that don't know, the 173rd Airborne Brigade Infantry Division was deemed America's if not the world's fiercest fighting force. I served with the 173rd in 1967 and remember the talk about him returning the medals but not sure if his name was Al or Cal?

Richard Dowis Johnson

17-Jul-2013 01:27

I am the wife of a recent retired Msgt and we have started looking for medals awarded to my father from Vietnam. His name was Richard Dowis Johnson and he served from 7/1967 to 5/1969. His helicopter was shot down but he feel out before it crashed. He told my mother that he was "carried down the mountain by the biggest black man he ever saw". My dad I don't believe knew who this soldier was. He said he passed back out when he realized it was an American soldier carrying him. Dad dies January 31, 1979. I have my husbands shadow box over the fireplace and I want to honor dad in the same way. So, he was from Tucker Ga, went to Walter Reed then Fitzsimmons for multiple back surgeries, he was in the Army and made E-4 rank. He was a Specialist. I have tried all the traditional was for a DD-214 etc but no one has record of him. He died in the VA in Atlanta but they "do not have his records" neither does the Archives. Anyone remember my dad? Any information is appreciated.

My uncle, Jimmy Ray Moore was KIA in Vietnam, 5 May, 1968. He was an M-60 gunner with the 173rd Airborne Brigade. 5 May 1968 was one of the most deadly days for our troops during this war. I would love to have someone contact me with possible photos of my father's youngest brother. Jimmy Ray Moore was known affectionately as "Mule", because of the way, I'm told, he humped his 30 pound machine gun. Should anyone have memories, and/or photos of him, please contact me.

Two of my uncles served in Vietnam. One was in the special forces, Felipe F. Suarez, and the other was a helicopter gunner ( I think), Cesar A. Guerra. They never spoke of their experiences, and I can't blame them, given what I've read about the experiences of other veterans. However, if anyone here served with either, please contact me at leguerrajr@gmail.com. Thank you.

Great photo gallery. My brother Sgt. Darl A. Trotter trained at Ft. Polk, Louisiana in 1968 and in Vietnam from August of 68 until August of 69.He was Infantry. He didn't talk about what his life was like over there and after listening to some of the veterans at the VA Hospitals I can understand why. He passed away In May of 2005. If anyone remembers serving with him please, we would like to know.

Hellow, My father, Sfc. Donald G. McJunkin served with the 199th Inf. in Vietnam (sep) Lt brigade 1968-1969. I like seeing the photos posted and comments.

I'm a 4th INF QM Iraq Veteran, My father was Donald Ray Price, 4th infantry div. Vietnam 68-69 DaNang-68 Tet Offense. Boot Camp: Ft. Leonard Wood, MO {now at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery}. I never understood growing up why my dad was the way he was, what made him say the things he did or the way he acted. Loud noises scared my dad to the end & Vietnam haunted him his entire life! When I returned from Iraq my self, I finally saw, understood & knew my dad for the first time. I now know the meanings behind the words he spoke, why his actions were as they were. I understood the pain in his being, the sadness in his heart & the PTSD he suffered from that went untreated!!! I am the daughter of a Vietnam Veteran & I know what we all did to survive & come HOME!

My dad MANUEL LEE MILLER was a Navy Seal who was on some Team even when he fought in Vietnam. I've been told of his purple heart and how he was a quartermaster on the ship to Vietnam, but never have I seen a picture or anything my dad had concerning the military except his military funeral...I believe he was on the cover of a magazine from Vietnam wearing a necklace with ears on it and standing over a stream. Anyone with anything please help! thank you sO much

Thanx. May God Bless All who serve.

My husband was in DaNang, Vietnam in 68/69. Dennis A. Smith Sr. Dennis did die of Agent Orange. If you are a surviving spouse, get to The American Legion office at the VA and file a claim. Only go through The American Legion Office. St. Petersburg Florida has the best staff to help you with your claims.

Thank you for these wonderful photos. I come from Australia and I was in Vietnam for six months in 1969 as a dancer with the Tony Sheridan Show. We travelled up and down the county and entertained troops on US bases. Does anyone remember those shows? Any photos available?

I am Canadian and in 1968, I was in second year university. We had many American graduate students who were avoiding the draft. We also had some graduate students and professors who had been to Vietnam. The Americans who had not been to Vietnam had lots to say about the war, those that had been there said very little, if anything at all.

It was a strange time, we could see the war on TV, yet it seemed unreal. As a result, many Canadians were very ambivalent about the war.

It moves me to see all the veteran responding to your photographs. The war must have been very hard on them. It is impossible for me to know what it was like to have been in the Vietnam War. However, because of your gallery I am starting to get feel.

Brilliant gallery and I will be back often to read more comments. Way too many to read in one evening.

Cheers,

David Vote

I lived in HHD SUPCOM and worked in the 80th GS Group compound from June 69 to June 70. I took turns driving and riding shotgun for Univ. of Maryland Far East Div. professors who we picked up from the air base before dark and then drove them back across the river after class in a Dodge pickup, one guy sitting on the sandbags in the back with a loaded weapon to make them feel safe. As a retiree I check my email everyday. Make the subject Danang or Vietnam.

Hello I recently came across 200+ slides taken on the Mekong Delta. Most appear to be taken on UFC 7 (Harbour Craft and Transport) Were taken 1966-67. There are a lot of shots of the men doing everyday things (Christmas, Laundry, Haircuts, even showing off a huge new back piece tattoo). There are also several shots of a small brown dog from puppy on up to grown that the sailors appearently kept as a pet. Would love to share these with someone who might recognise them and appreciate them. mistressfaerie at gmail dot com

My fellow Brothers I am in desparate need of help. I served In Country in 1969 with 197 INfantry and was stabbed in an ambush attack in Oct 1969. 11 months of my term has completely disappeared. I have been able tto retrieve partial records but most have been lost or altered. I have been stricten with Parkinsons and have had 3 heart attacks and have found out that my back is not combat related which does not afford me the privileges of full deductions. Where I need help is if any brother remembers me In Country PLEASE write to me. I have been working on this for 3 or more years even hired an attorney, have gotten letters from people who know i was there, what will cinch is if one of my brothers could remember me. Thank you and may God Bless you.

What a wonderful website and very touching. Thanks. I served in HHT, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, Bien Hoa Army Base (not Bien Hoa Air Base) and at the Blackhorse Base Camp. I was one of the few Native American (Cherokee/Osage Indian tribes) GIs in the 11th ACR during '69- '70. Again, thanks for a wonderful website.

Great pics brings back my past. I was a drill ft Jackson and ft its was with macv 1969 1970 .just wanted to say welcome home. I also am a agent orange victim. It is what it it is just glad for these years I have had.

This is a very wonderful gallery. My Daddy served the same time his name was Lou Melvin Baylor Jr. He was my best friend and he shared all of his stories with me over and over and over but ever time he shared them it was like a brand new story and I enjoyed listened everytime even though every time we would both end up with tears streaming down our faces. And I knew that it was a hard thing for him but he had to share his pains and the few fun times that he experienced in the war with someone and I am glad that he choose me and I am thankful that you choose to do your gallery is just as vivid as his stories. Thank you and all that had to share the that moment in life that seemed like forever in a lost world. Bless you all!

A scout dog Tasha was left in my care in 1970 .He was taken out of the field , and was suppose to be euthanized , but was saved by a sgt. ,who left him with me .If anyone worked with Tasha ,or took care of him ,after Dec. 1970 ,I would like to hear from you .

I am asking everyone if they knew my dad, Platoon Sargent Clayton W. Lowery, he served in the 9th infantry. He was given a Commendation Medal for instructing his troops to start building 20 foot sections on the Nhon Tri Bridge that had been blown-up. I am just curious as to if anyone remembered this in 1968. My father passed away in 1999 from heart disease, he had the kindest and warmest heart of anyone I have ever known. I miss my dad, rest in peace dad, I love you.

My name is Tina Seymour, My father was Byron Seymour, he was a Navy man stationed in DaNang in either 1968-69. I do not know much of my dads service, i know he harbored a lot of anger and pain in relation to the war and some things in it. He became a terrible alcoholic when he returned and would never tell anyone what he saw there. He would only say that he could never tell another soul why he couldnt come to terms with it. He passed away in 1993 from cancer from that he got from drinking heavily for so many years. If anyone out there knew my father, please contact me. Thank You

Co B 3/187 101 Airborne Vietnam 68-69
My Uncle Robert VandenBerg was WIA April 25 1969. For several months I have search the web trying to find anything with no . So let me tell the story.
It was April 25 1969 in Vietnam and their mission was to try to take "Hamburger Hill" from the top. He was in 1 of 3 helicopters. His was shot down and he was thrown from the helicopter. When he finally come to a stop he had rolled down the hill. He was alone and his rifle was snapped in half from the impact. He had 2 broken legs and a tree branch went thru his legs. It was quiet for a moment then he could hear the enemy talking and moving around. Then he heard someone call his name and ask him where are you and are you hurt. He told him were he was and that he was hurt and his rifle was broke in half. The brave soldier made his way to him and sat protecting him until they both could be rescued. My Uncle Believes that brave soldier name is Terry Gann. He see in 1 more time after that day on the hill. He was at the Hospital in Hong Kong. My Uncle received a Purple Heart and several other medals. Once he was back in the states he never told anyone about his timein Vietnam
Several months ago I found my Uncle living only a few miles from me. I had not seen him in 12 years since my Mothers Funeral. I decided to go surprise him. He did not even know who I ways til I told him my name. He live in an RV that is parked at the back of a Dairy. I as the one who also got a shock. He keeps to himself. Leaves the dairy only to ride a bike to a local store. I spent several hours with him. I asked him if he would tell me the story of how he was wounded in Vietnam and the above story. He final told me the story. He said that was the 1st time he had told anyone. He also told me that he was the lucky one. He missed Hamburger Hill. He said he would have been killed there.He made it home and alot of did died on that damn hill. If any one knows any information or if there is any vets that was there or may know my uncle please get in touch with by email shelli.godinho@yahoo.com.
Thank you to all the soldiers who have served to keep us safe.

Very good photos. Iam volunteering for the Education Center for the Vietnam Memorial Wall. They have started a campaign "Call for Photos". They want to put a face to every name on the Vietnam Memorial in DC. They are asking anyone who has a photo of a Vietnam Vet who was killed in Vietnam, any photo, it doesn't have to be military to send it to the Education Center. Go to www.vvmf.org/thewall and it will explain everything and how to post a photo of your loved one. There are many volunteers working on this, I happen to be working on getting photos of the Hawaiian fallen soldiers. Submit any photo you have so your loved one is represented on the new photo wall.

I was with the 1Bn, 2nd of 320th/ Bravo Co. Air Artillery Assault, 101st Airborne.. Went on Patrol with the 1Bn, 2/327th Alpha Co. 71' Two weeks later we ended up in Phu Bai and were on our way for an R&R at China Beach.. Three of us were from the arty and the rest Grunts.. They took 8 of us off the Chinook for guard duty and the rest, 36 men, went down in the Chinook out side of Da Nang.. First we thought they crashed into the sea. Found out 30 odd years later, they were shot down and couldn't be found because of the jungle... Was just wondering if there's still some one alive who was taken off that flight. It happen just after Thanksgiving, we were at Fire Base Eagle for Thanksgiving... Two days later, they went down and I was on guard duty in Phu Bai... Any one left alive from that time? Cpl. Gary Pierson, (alias Zapper) 101st Airborne... " Balls of the Eagle Sir!" Love the road sign pic... Kind of hard to find people you served with in the 101st, when most are dead...... War, what is it good for? Target practice of course. Peace, try some, you might like it. And remembering what and where and when is a bitch... Especially when you didn't know where you were in the first place and trying to remember 40 years later..... Good Luck to all looking for some one.. It's been a long, long, long time since I felt fine...... garyray ^i^

Some of our group were pole climbers, others worked in the communications bunker.
We had the Seabees behind us, the 6" or 8" canons behind us; the 101st. Eagle Medical choppers to the left of us, HQ and the mess hall in front of us!

John Muller: I served with MACV from '69 to '70. In about Oct '69 I joined a 3 piece rock n roll band that practiced after work. We won the VN wide IV Corps battle of the bands and was put on a US Touring show for one month. I think our band was called big show or big dog something like that. We were also recorded on the TV show Star Search. I played keyboard. The song was Spinning Wheel by Chicago. I was the start of each show for months in the ad. Would like to know if there is any history or photos of that time and would like to hook up with other band members. Thanks

For those looking for missing veterans, information or photos: Try checking unit reunions. Ask them to post your request on their site or at their reunion. I was an Air Traffic Controller at Cu Chi Feb 70-Nov 70 and Phu Bai Nov 70-Jun 71. We had detachments at every airfield in Vietnam. I'm attending a reunion in Reno at the end of May 2011.
If you can specify the unit or basecamp, I can post requests at our ATC reunion. I worked as a Psychiatric Nurse on a PTSD unit with the Veterans Administration. I know how important information and "closure" can be. Chance encounters are more common than people realize...like now. Until May 19, 2011 e-mail robtaylorsailor@ charter.net

my father was killed in hosital fire may 19,1968 his name was william c baldwin his rank CPL i was only 2 when he was killed if there are any pics from then can someone post them- at 0500 hours my father lost his life in a ambush he and three others were killed- i am researching what happend that early morning hour-.

I am a grandaughter of a navy veteran second class petty officer.All my mother and I know is that he was in Cu Ci Vietnam in the Vietnam war. He lived in a hotel named something that sounds like this: MAT TU BON hotel on the street of Ngyuen Cu Trinh Quan 1 Saigon city. His First name is Mark but we both dont know his last name. He has blond hair and eyes that are dark brown,and also a little bit of freckels. He had a girlfriend that was vietnamese and her name was Hong (rose) she was 20 and he was maybe 22 years of age. please send an email to me at pham519778@bellsouth.net if you know this man becuase he has a son who have been waiting all his life just to meet him.My father was born with out knowing his father.Please if you have information on this man then feel free to emial me. Thank you

I have a dear friend that served in 528th QM. He was in country from Jan 1969 till that tragic day he was ambushed while hauling fuel in March 1970. His truck had "Jumping Jack Flash" on it, put on there by someone named "Ecih" (may have named spelled incorrectly). He's been fighting this war ever since. Lets all take the time to say a prayer for all that served and has yet to overcome. My prayers go out to all that served and continue to serve.
Anyone out there that served during that time with 528th QM? If so, please contact me at mountains4me43@aol.com

I can't believe the amount of messages you have received and the hopes of all to connect with someone. It must have been very hard to be a combat photographer. You collection of photos are wonderful and depict the many different aspects of war and the relationship of all the people involved. Alison

it there is anyone out there that knew him; get in touch with me. also, i had an uncle, howard b handley, he was in the army. if anyone knew him or has pictures of him i would love to see them. he died september 1968 while on tour.
thanks,

Hi Richard, My uncle John Jennings mentioned that he was a combat photographer with the 212th and flew with the 282nd as well. He was there all of 69.

Hopeing to find out some info on the time my Dad was in Vietnam and some people he severed with His name Is David W, Estrada. He dont talk about it much. But i do have some dates. USMC 1967 - 1973. I have found a letter with these names on it Bidinger, Cominotto, Shiner, and Estrada Date on the letter June 25 1970.
Marine Observation Squadron 6, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Maring Aircraft Wing (Rear) FPO, San Francisco 96602 Corporal D.W. Estrada 242 44 43/6114 USMC.

Meritorious achievement in aerial flight as adesignated Aerial Gunnerwith Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463 during combat support missions in support of the Republic of Vietnam against insurgent communist (Viet Cong) forces from 2 December 1969 to 70.

My dad has some powerful images from 1966-1968. Before the brigaide there were engineers that build the bridges for them. they were all there they saw more than we will ever see. they are true american heros that saved the country for us..... why becauxe they we to protect the family they loved. To take care of the future. So remembered some just didn't want too....but we must remember because if you don't know history then it is and the mistakes or rights we made they will be forgotten and we will never move beyond that. The USA is the best and we can teach...we just need people that are teachable, and accepting to freedom and not scared or not misunderstanding of it....

Sobering photos, Richard. We are of the same generation.I served in the USAF from '66-'70. Luckily for me, I was stateside for my entire tour. However, I did have good friends serving in country. Thankfully, they all made it back. It was a trying decade. We all owe a lot to you and your fellow soldiers who fought in Viet Nam. Thanks for sharing these photos. V.

Now writing a book at last after 40 years about my experiences. I'm looking for any information on Miles Stevens, also freelance, disappeared somewhere near DMZ 1970. Believed to have died in an arclight strike (hearsay only). Any information at all would be appreciated. Have tried Magnum etc but no joy. Please contact at quintus1@live.co.uk

Richard, Thank You for sharing your site. Not only the memorable pics of 'Nam, but all of the other photos of the dancers also. I am a budding artist who also served a second tour during the same time period (Dec 67 to July 69)and am very pleased to see how you have maximized your life after 'Nam. You are a Great visiual story teller. Would it be alright for me to put some of your work on canvas? It would be done to make of a profit, only for my own pleasure. I always work from photographs, but usually my own.

Once Again, Thank You!!

My husband was stationed at DaNang, Viet Nam in 68-69. He was in the "Mini-Tet" during that time. He saw, heard, and particiapted in the events. He would be interested in hearing from any Marine who was there at that time. The overturned C123, Mag 11 killings, A-4 flying into the hanger, air refueling over Hanoi, ect. are of particular interest to him. Duane E. Fogerty

In responding to Vina Nguyen, a student exchange from Vietnam. America is a free society and the government do not brain washed their youngsters. Unlike, the communist in VietNam. You have to study the propaganda of the communist party. You should be thanksfull to the host family and the open arm of American generousity. I'm a victim of the communist and the by product of the regime "boat people". We do have American History in high school level. If you wishes to study in depth about American History you can enroll at any University or College. WAR is an evil word but some time necessary between Good & Evil. American services men and women has fought brilliantly to defend a young democracy in South VietNam. Please take this time to study about the truth of war in VN Vinna. Thanks again to all American service men and women who fought in VN. Thanks AMERICA for embraced the Vietnamese boat people and give us Freedom, Liberty & Justice. I'm a proud AMERICAN. God bless America!!!!

I am a 40 year old UK citizen born 26 November 1968. This is going to sound absolutely crazy but I think I may have been a Vet in a previous life! Whether I was US or Viet I am unsure although my partner says I speak some kind of eastern sounding tong in my sleep. When I was young I was in a children's home which I escaped from. I was chased into a corn filed by police I took cover by diving down into the corn so they couldn't see my position. I was 8 years old how would I know that would have worked. When I was in my teens I was touched by Vietnam war films or shows, So much so my guts would feel wrenched buy what I was watching. Also recently I was watching something where there was machine gun fire, I noticed my finger spasming as though it were on the trigger of that gun that I was hearing.

Guys I am not a kooky nor do I mock the heroic actions of almost all who gave their lives in those times. Guys I don't know whether or not reincarnation is something that any of you believe in but I strongly feel a connection to these times and I feel a desperate need to find out more. My name is Russ Colbeck and I am looking for archives of photographs maybe i looked the same! Anything that I can look through. Please if anyone has any SERIOUS suggestions please email me at russ.colbeck@yahoo.co.uk
Thank you and god bless. Sincerely Russ

I loved your site but as usual there is little about the brave men of the US Navy that played an important part of the War. Though many prople wrongly think we lost the war I'm still a proud member of RivDiv116 PBRs of the Delta. We did our job and politics gave the war away in France.

Check the records and you will see that after the '69 tet we were in postition to fingt into any part of North Vietnam we wanted. Because the people here in America stoped supporting us the war went to the enemy. We lost nothing but brave men that realy wanted to and could have won.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Thanks Richard....

I relate to your comment on developing your photos in water that was described as wet. My love of photography started in the 1st Aviation Brigade photo lab in December 1968. Timing photo development in chemicals made with this water and in the heat was a real trick. Consistency was never possible and much photo paper was wasted, but it was better than sitting in the O club and getting drunk every night and I brought back over 1000 negatives and memories that lasted a life time.

As a veteran of the war, I continue to visit your site with awe. Your photos are personal, just like the war. Many of those who were not there.....just don't get it. For those who do.....I offer my thanks on behalf of the brave who served....and those who died doing what we as true American's have in our blood to do. Because of the public outcry and rage it became clear...our job was to make sure we all came home....alive....not who won what battle.

Thanks Richard Calmes for the great pics of Vietnam. It must of been tough for you guys over there. I wish I would have been old enough to of been there. At that time I was only 4 years old. I am very proud of all the personal who have served our country for the freedom we have now. Not only Vietnam but all the encounters we have been involved in through out our lives. These are great pics man.

Brother, your pics. took me back from my teac reel to reel to Jo Jo, our company dog and my 60 ca. that I humped. I was in the 563rd trans and traveled from Long Bien to Qui Nhon to Pleiku back to Long Bien and your pictures of the Vien Nam maid, kids, taxi etc. are F------ right on and brings alot of my memories. I miss my buddy Dale Robinson, my Brother in Arms, now I am 58 and still kind of messed up and trying to go for disability benefits, got one for hearing loss but nothing yet for my PTSD. Thanks Brother Lanney

One of the most incredible works i ever saw Richard. More than talented, it is real. True people, images that tell us a story.
But the memories will be with you for the rest of your life. I understand what it means to you, my dad was military in combat in Africa during the end of the 60's beginning of 70´s. I saw many pictures like this, althought in diferent places and for diferent reasons, the story is the same.
Thank you dear friend for sharing this with us.
I wish you only the best to you and your family, be happy and be well Richard.
Not only deserves my vote as well my consideration and respect.
You are an exceptional photographer Richard Calmes.

Hey Richard, I just stumbled across your page. Great to see you have posted all these pics after all these years. You were the one that got me interested in photography in good old Phu Bai when I arrived in "68". It seems like another life now but you helped me get through one of the toughest times in my life as a young kid in a strange land. Maybe We should get a reunion together someday before we all get to old to travel! Thanks again Friend! Mickey Watford

THX for memories of "Yellow River" ... was Combat Engineer 69-70. My return home was almost as much of a nightmare as my year in Nam ... tough to be a GI back then ...

This gallery is a very moving one. I was conscripted into the army in 69 and spent the next twelve years in and out of camps from Ovamboland and Angola through to Mozambique and the debate on whether it was justified or not will not be open here, but on reflection I really would have loved to have had the equipment I have today to have recorded those rather sad times for us all regardles of which side of the fence we were on. This is a moving gallery for me.

Great pictures here Richard. Some pics makes me think of the Kate Bush song Army Dreamers.

"'What could he do?
Should have been a rock star.'
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
'What could he do?
Should have been a politician.'
But he never had a proper education.
'What could he do?
Should have been a father.'
But he never even made it to his twenties.
What a waste --
Army dreamers."

Nice pics...stirs alot of the memory cells. They all tell a story. I was in the class of 70-71....855th Gen Sup Co.....Camp Carter...got there in June 70 and split in May of 71. Hooked up with 3 other vets from same company...same hootch....hopefully reunion under way. Welcome home bro! Go Beach Club and NCO club!! jk

A womman in response to your pictures asked if anyone knew her uncle who gave his life in vietnam and it reminded me of the photos on poles by the WTC site. People wantng to know if anyone had seen there loved ones. Life should be respected. All humans matter.

Your photographs bring back a lot of memories, especially since I've been going through all my old Navy slides from that time.
Many thanks for sharing.

B&W photography has amazing power. These are beautiful, poignant. I'm old enough to remember the very end of the war: was living on an AFB at the time, so it was really big news. My father was there in '66 w/ USAF; he never took any pictures, so the only images I've seen are from others. Thank you for sharing.

Hi
Former French paratropper 1RHP (brevet #212151) during the 80s and have heard a lot of stories about Indochine (French war with Vietnam) and then the US fighting Vietnam. "Nostaliques beautifully sad pictures". Very sadly resemble WWII pictures. Glad you got them on the web ... it helps keeping the sacrifices of the soldiers alive, whatever their side and somehow worthwhile. Also help realizes the pain the population endured.
Great Pics. Congratulations.

Richard, you have a great collection of photos displayed here. Like you I discovered photography during my tour in 68-69. I started off with a cheap Kodak Instamatic and came home with a first class Topcon 35mm camera. I was an Aviation Parts Supply Sgt for an aviation unit in Nha Trang and we flew all over the II Corp area supporting the Signal Corp. You've got to wonder what became of the hooch maids and Vietnamese that worked with us during the war. It's difficult to comprehend that they've aged with us over the past 40 years. Welcome Home to all.

Brings back memories.Welcome home brother.I served with 4th Infantry Pleiku.Arrived in country New Years Day 1968.

Dear Mr. Calmes,
My dad was also a combat fotog in Viet Nam 68-69 for the Army. There was a couple of rolls of pictures that he took for a reporter that represented himself as from National Geographic. He said he took some really great pictures, but he never saw them developed or got his rolls back, and National Geographic had no record of the said reporter. Do you know of any stories like this in Viet Nam or have any information you can share. It would be nice if one day my dad could get his pictures back. When he came back he was stationed in CA and only took one roll of film the whole time he was there bc he was so put out by how his talents were used as a fotog. I think if he could get his pictures back it would kind of close "the loop" for him so he wouldn't feel it was all a waste. I think those may have been the only pictures he took over there that were not of dead bodies.

i am an Vietnamese exchange student in U.S. And here, in this state not many people-i mean young people know about Vietnamese war and Viet Nam also! some of them dont even know how to pronounce the word Viet Nam exactly! i was so disappointed of that anyway! in my country, i had to study history of that war when i was first grade and keep going until now! it always is reminded to us how horror the war was! and what the people under that war had to stand and see and pass... nowadays, these young American person dont know anything about that war-the dark past, i wonder because that was 30 years ago! not so long time! and it s still hurt many people also in VN and U.S, my host parent even got some family's members died in the war, too. and it mean they didnt let to be studied of that when in secondary school! some others in high school but they dont know, either.
so, they completely support the nuclear bomb even though they got 2 big events in Japan under the second world war(Hirosima and Nagasaki) and the Iraq, i am so amazing of it! they are so.... i just mean a little young American here not all but anyway, that presents for a side of U.S that i used not to learn before...

I was there same years, 101st and 25th divisions as a surgeon. Soon history will be after us as it is now sopping up the memories of the WWII vets. I am in the process of scanning my slides [but only have a few up now]. It took me 3 tries in different years to get up to the Wall in Washington...I as you know too many of them and their stories...when I get there I can hear them...see them and maybe worst smell them.

This is a very good collection thanks.
I just met a vietnam vet who was also in the americal division and he is wanting to know if there was a book that was given to each veteran when they left the country it may may what is considered a in country remembrance type of book and if there is where can he get one? I was with the first Infantry 121st signal corp and they published an in country book for the division and its units and campaigns. I had it sent home but I forgot about until I recieved after my Mother passed away.
Thanks

My best friend had to flee as a child, from this war. I have heard stories of what it did to many, but these pictures show me in a way that is almost experiential--this is amazing and awesome photojournalism, Richard. The story in each image touches a human chord that only the truly honest expression can share, and you have achieved that here, many, many times over. I thank you for the raw power of these images, and transporting us to a place that some of us may never truly undestand, but have begun to, in your photographs. With much respect, Aloha

I was too young to remermber correctly the Vietnam War ... I saw a lot of images of this war .. However, I know that this gallery is just a little and "beautiful" part of the war. There was a lot of horror scenes like every other wars ... But, behind your photos, we can imagine and feel a very little part of those horrors scenes and that, means your photos are very very powerful and they transmit me, the "feel" of moments ...

That's what we call good photos. When we can feel the instant of the photo is taken, about 1/250th second, and live that moment, the real sens of the photography is there ... goal is touched !

Congratulations for thoses photos but overall, for sharing us thoses moments ... which were too long for everybody, I am sure ....

a great gallery...it's a great emotion for me to see these images...each one is a story...a moment of deep umanity...I apologize for my very bad english...

ciao!

This is one of the most amazing galleries on Pbase. Words cannot even begin to descibe the intense feelings that each one of your amazing photos provoke. For those who didn't experience the era, your photos make this time in history come to life. Your portraits make us feel the humanity.

my father was an MP in vietnam at the same time. he also got interested in photography then as well. in 1975 he bought a photography studio in virginia and just retired last oct. i have worked in this studio for almost 14 years. i will send him a link to this gallery. wonderful images. thank you.

Thanks for sharing these very touching photos. Now I am certain to dig out some of my old 35mm slides taken in Vung Tau. Some of those little kids that I see in my slides are more thah 40 years old now. I can't help but wonder how they view Americans now. Your work is inspirational

What a powerful, revealing, touching collection of pictures from this costly, ghastly war -- a war now being compared to Iraq, with good reason. There is so much here, I will return and review again, and post comments on many of your pictures. For now, I am adding you to my FAVORITES, another way to guide viewers to come and visit what you have so magnificently posted. I do not think we can know enough detail about the terrible sacrifices of the men and women who were involved in Viet Nam during and especially after coming home. Seeing these haunting photos grabs at my heart and makes me wonder at the short-term memories of our "leaders", politicians, military brass -- that they cannot recall from one war to the next the toll that is taken upon so many lives. I, too, think that this gallery (and probably the real horror pix you have and didn't publish here) ought to be made into a book, lest another generation forgets just how unglorious killing really is. Bravo, Richard!

Very professional photo collection. I was at 3rd Marines, 5th Comm Batt next to Marble Mtn. Air Facility from June 1968 until July 1969. I too was young, dumb, and did what I was told. I took virtually no photos while there, maybe one 36 roll. Don't know why, guess I felt the whole experience "just another year"!! I find as I age, upon reflection, the sights, sounds, and experiences I had have had a much deeper effect on me than I realized. I have developed strong feelings about our involvement in VietNam and other wars, and I still don't know what is right. Maybe God will enlighten me one day. My life experiences and gray hairs as proof have taught me one thing; when good men do nothing, evil flourishes.

This is a wonderful gallery, Richard, and I love watching it as a slideshow. Though the images are from far away, they touch the lives of those of us who were alive at that time. It is a part of our heritage, too. Vote, of course.

This is a truly powerful collection that goes well beyond photojournalism. You have a very sensitive, human touch here which really deserves attention. Thank you for sharing this experience. Voted, of course.

Great photos, when my sister returned from Iraq she had a lot of pictures. One folder was from a POA and his pictures like yours tend to show the human side of war at least to me. Thanks for sharing and for your service.

Hi Richard, You have a great Gallery here. I take my hat off to you for your service to our great country. I to was their in 67 and 68. I guess you could call me your back up. I was servicing aboard the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid CVS-11. It's a Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York now. Your photo Gallery is the best I've seen. I'm looking forward to see more of you work in the future. You have my Vote. Thanks for having me aboard.............................

Brings back good and bad memories, did three tours from '66 through '69. Most of my time was on Carriers, but did some TAD. Thanks for helping me remember. Tough years for all of us, can only hope we are better for it. I have a thousand or so slides from my tours hope to scan them some day. Sherwood.

My uncle was one drafted in 66, Was killed in 70. His brother my father past 12/13/06 after serving 15 years in the core. I have been listed in the core 17 years. The people change the photos stay the same. Love your country, Love the people who die for you,I would never let down a man, Woman or there family I love. But I am going back. I heading back in to sand steaks. 6 time I have been there. I leave in three days. Mission

Richard, this is totally amazing. Beautiful dancers emerge from the same creative genuis who has experienced the trauma of Vietnam. These are very significant images. I've spent a good hour going through them. Exceptional work. Huge vote.

Born in 1973, missed this war...still amazed at how thoroughly it colors our politics even now. Your gallery is fascinating and important -- for one thing, it gives my generation (and later) a window into the war that isn't just "Rambo." Thank you for the human faces.

I come back for another comment Richard, i'm really moved with your pictures....Thanks for sharing.

Hi Richard - it's so good to see this truly amazing gallery getting continued recognition. A treat to see new images getting added as well. I commented on this originally a year ago and my initial comments still stand!

The war captured to an eye of a normal soldier, it gives a good view of the daily life of you in the war. Thanks to share with us this part of history and a big vote from me...respect for your pictures.

Richare, thanks for sharing those valuable images with all of us...Thousands of words and thousands of stories you are telling not only to your country, your people, but also every pbase viewer from the world ! Big vote!

What a wake up of memories. I was based in Cam Rahn Bay, Herky HIll, 69-70. One of my favorites, amoung many, was the shot with you and the reel to reel recorder. We all had them it seemed.
Thanks again for the excellent gallery. You got my vote.

Lately I see more and more photographers displaying their older images scanned from prints slides and negatives. It seems that Pbase will be a masive memory bank. Well done your pictures come from another era of photography.

Richard, thank you for serving your country so well, during this sad and tragic times, in world history!It further saddens me, of the thought that so many young Americans never came back!I was a young Canadian when all this turmoil was happening and remember it to well, as your neighbour to the North! You have put together a superb documentary and I encourage you to continue adding more images to this Gallery. GMV, Richard.

Voted..............
You never cease to amaze me Richard.
Excellent photography!
I prefer sepia to anything because it adds depth.
Somehow your photographs, this war, befits the color black and white.
Get it?
Not just pictures but a reflection of a reality.
Many lives lost memories captured in gloss.
I love your surprises.

Richard ... thanx for posting. Excellent gallery and took my right back there some 40 years ago (I was there from '66-'67 and again from '69-'70). A long time ago in one sense and like yesterday in another. Glad you made it back safely. Great gallery. Voted

Wonderfully taken pics richard. Another time and place,but the same American persecution of the innocents as Iraq today. Someday that country will learn,it will take many more 9/11s I fear,but it will happen.

Very moving gallery, Richard. I was in college until 1970, and was never called up. Many of my high school friends went to 'Nam; some never returned. Some returned in pieces and took years to make peace with their memories, while others never could. I'm glad you made it back safe and have maintained your love of photography for the benefit of us all. V

"Xin chao" from Vietnam!!! Your photos are really great. Thanks a lot!!!
By the way, come back to visit Vietnam one day and see how our country's changed and growed magically after the war.

Wonderful galleries - very interesting to see the development of your talent over the years. I was also a photographer in the Army as a 2nd occupation (Medic was my primary job) - but (fortunate for me) Richard Nixon stopped sending us over to Vietnam while I was in Basic Training.

Such candid, unexaggerated images are the psychological icons that one accumulates in life, standing out like the subject of bokeh in the memory.. Did I phrase that correctly? The images so deftly caught during war are to be appreciated, not only for the quality of the art, but for the moments caught in a camera's eye, out of the endlessly teeming moments and struggles that make up a war, that so many have endured so the rest of us may not have to.
Galleries such as these are important for the psychological knowledge as much as the aesthetic perusal.
My boyfriend sends his regards and his gratitude for being able to see these pictures. True love of country has not been instilled in the younger generations.. So again cheers and thank you for the chance to view these.

i have an adopted p.o.w.who i belive is still out there.i blame the u.s. gov.for all casualties in nam.if we were properly trained instead of a were going to kick ass mentallity we would have not lost all those precious lifes.in these last words i qoute,
"I cant't promise you that I will bring you all home alive.But this I swear before you and before Almighty God;that when we go into battle, I will be the first to set foot on the field and I will be the last to step off and I will leave no man behind. Dead or alive,we will all come home together. So help me God."Lt. Colenal Hal Moore.one last thing before i go.over half the percent of homeless are Nam' veterans.when they came home everyone looked down on them that is no way to treat someone who lost friends and family fighting to get you where you are now.think about that.

Hi,
as a 16year old New Zealander who has studied both of the Vietnam wars i just want to say that your images are good but why were you in Vietnam in the first place. Maybe you belive the same as me, that both America and France should have never entered into these civil wars in Vietnam. Ok to help the poor yes, to give aid yes, but to go into a country that is trying to become whole again i think not.

Richard ... another excellent chronicle of life in Vietnam. I was there twice (1966-67 and again from 1968-1969. Looking at your photos, I can smell again all the fumes from the cyclos and the unbelievable traffic. If one wasn't there, one cannot imagine it. Nice work ...

What a place to begin a career. I like the presentation of life taking place in what must have been impossible circumstances.

Thank you for being there so that others could be free. You and your buddies sacrifices -- lives, lost time away from family, lost jobs, enduring the scorn of some -- have bought the freedom of and shaped today's Southeast Asia. I salute you and your work. Well done. God bless you and your great country.

Thanks for your comment earlier - glad it has led me here, it's fascinating to look through these. Considering you were just 'starting out' when taking these they are of such a high quality, and an important doucment of the time.

Thank you for your comment on my gallery 70+. I visit your gallery "vietnam war". It is merit and humanity. It touches me much.

My father served in VietNam in 1968, I believe. His name was Gary Hanley and I am trying to find out all I can about him and his time served over thre. I am not even sure where he was. He was an infantry man, fixed tanks is all I really know. I have a pin of his which is a purple shield with a gold unicorn on it. He had a volitile relationship with my mother, he died of what I beleive to be "agent orange side effects" at the very young age of 36. My mom doesnt talk about him, and I am not even sure if she actually got to know who he beacame after the war. He was from Jamestown, New York. If any one knows anything I would be so very grateful!

Wonderful collection of photos Richard. I bought my first "real" camera in Vietnam too. If you haven't already, you should consider a visit back to SE Asia. There are still a many great scenes waiting to be captured.

Hi,

Enjoyed the pics of Vietnam. I was there in 1969-1970. Your shots captured many of the images I still have in my head. I'm a writer and have commented on my experiences in several books.
Keep up your good work.

I allready voted for your ballet gallery, but I this one flabbergasted me!
Shocking, beautiful, and all so very real.

Eh, I'm only 15 at the moment, but in my 15 years of living, I have always been interested in the Vietnam war. I know a lot about it and your suffering that you had to endure during it. What with jungle war fare, always keeping look out, scared and bored a lot o the times. I'm supprised you came back along with all the other men and woman who served. I'm so glad I could see this gallery, tank you.

When I saw the damaged PX I thought it looked very similar to a slide I made in Phu Bai in 1969. I checked it out and it is the same PX and my photo was taken almost from the same angle as yours. Brought back memories. Thanks

Interesting glimpse in a none too distant past. I visited Vietnam in 2001 and was amazed at the resilience of the people, their kindness, their friendliness, despite having had to go through the ordeal of a war.

Very nice, Richard. Brings back a lot of memories. I was just a USAF REMF, but I travelled most of RVN. I'm so glad you scanned and posted these. The gallery presents a unique view of the war quite unlike the sensationalistic media shots. Thanks you. Tom Dillon, USAF, Ret.

I was with the 23rd Infantry (Americal) Division C-Battery 1/82 at LZ LIZ 1970-1971. Is there anyone still alive.

It's hard to believe that these images were not published. An incredible documentary. Many of these are iconic. Even without titles or context, one would immediately be able to place the time, the location, the war. A gallery that deserves to be seen by every user on pbase. Adding my vote as a miniscule contribution to that goal.

Very powerful! This is an awesome gallery and it shows the life of those that served in Viet Nam which was so misunderstood. I salute all of you who served over there and you guys have my utmost respect and appreciation. thank you! Big Vote

Wow! This was one of the 1st galleries I found on pbaase, and was just speechless, in awe. I am so glad to have found it again, as well as your other work. Thanks for the looks at mine. I appreciate the encouragement. Voted!! Glad to meet ya!

Thankfully well before my time. the only knowledge I have of this war is what I have been taught at school in history... and all teh movies and series such as Platoon, Hamburger Hill, and Tour of Duty. There are some great journalistic shots and my two favourites here are the "Chopper and GI" and "Me". I am glad that you magaged to walk away from this war and turn to the gracefull ballet scenes instead. Your style has improved but your eye for a great shot was already apparent, well before I set foot on this earth... A combat photographer... and still passionate about teh medium. Impressive with a capital I!!!

Your photos bring back memories of a time long put back in my mind. But not forgotten. I was in Viet Nam from September of 1966 to September of 1977. Each one of your photographs have brought back to life with a smile those memories. Especially your short timer calandar photo. GREAT WORK!!!

Amazing and great work. Very contrasting to you work with dancers, which is excellent. You have my vote.

My father served in Vietnam from March 1968 to 1969. I recently found a bunch of his old slides from the war. He was a navy surgeon, attached to the first Marine Division in a few different locations: Da Nang, Phu Bai, Saigon and on some of the Navy Vessels of the Coast. I will get the slides transferred over to the internet and share them with you. I apreciate you sharing your slides and stories about Vietnam. It helps me to further understand what my Dad and the all of the people who were there went through. I am proud to say that I am a son of a Vietnam War Veteran!

I really think this has a lot of merit. Its fantastic to see photos on PBase of something of so much historical importance. The shots have a real photojournalistic credibility to them. VERY good gallery.

Stunning, especially since these are from the time period and blk n wht. I was visited for the first time this April 2005. Enjoyed every minute and will return. Check out www.pbase.com/ckuhn55 of my trip. Also a gallery of blk n wht digital of course...cheers

Richard - Thanks for visiting my images and your comments. And a special thanks for posting this collection. I was in the Mekong Delta in '67, but have maybe 2 photos of my time there.
I returned for a visit in the 90's while living in Hong Kong. I'll let you know when I post those on my gallery section later.
Great collection.
Thanks!

its strange in a digital world of DVD and instant 24 7 news , a black and white image which can been seen , felt and pondered tells a far better story , Richard what you have is more then just a record , thanks for posting them .....Larry B , UK

Richard,
I was in grade school during the vietnam conflict. The nuns would always have the news on and had us praying for our boys who were fighting the war. I have always had a great interest in what you guys went through over there. Never could find anyone to give me their story. I guess its always been as uncomfortable for me to ask as it must be for vets to tell their story. It is through photo collections like yours , that I am able to capture a little of how you lived and died, your joy and sorrow, your fear and calm,your pain and suffering. Things I was fortunate not to experience firsthand. Thanks to you and every american that served us so proudly........................Stan

I'm speechless. I can only say WOW. Great gallery. Thank you for sharing.

Wow. What a moving and educational collection of photos. I was born in 1969, so although I don't remember the Vietnam War, so much of my childhood was impacted by it. Thanks for helping me "see" a little of it through your camera lens.

I am a kind of sorry, to 'steal' the first place in the popular galleries, your journalism is so much more, than my 'fractal' view - yet, I can only place one vote for this great gallery! Cheers, Armin

Amazing pictures that truly capture the time. I just returned from Vietnam - while there visited some of the battlefields and the major cities - the war still permeates every day life and conversation even though most of the population was born after the war. If you have a chance check out my pictures of vietnam. thanks for your pics!

I was playing Little league and delivering and morning Seattle PI in 68-69.. Great gallery and I was lucky because they didn't draft 10 or 11 year olds then!!! ( Great work!) Monte

I served in Dong Tam in the Mekong Delta in 68... who will forget the TET Offensive. Your photos are top notch and bring back many memories. I have written a book of haiku and prose about the war in a pdf form, called an e-book. I would love to e-mail you a copy. Contact me, brother.

What a fantastic portrait of wartime Vietnam! Your gallery really touches the heart of the matter: the Vietnamese people.
I visited there a couple of years ago and was struck by the friendliness and warmth of the people. How thankful we can all be that they now live in peace, free to go about their own pursuit of happiness.

Truly fine work that tells a personal, individual and collective story... a real sense of closeness to the people. Congratulations for bringing them and sharing them with us all here. Unhesitatingly voted!!!

Richard, I have hundreds of slides of my dad's from his 2 tours in Vietnam that I go through time and again. I've visited a few times, though some 30 years after he did. Thanks for sharing!

Impressive shots of a troubled time. I can't say I would had the will to take pics at such time. But I am sure it was a way to think about soemthing else...
Who said grainy is bad or digital is the only way to go?

So nice to see this in popular galleries. A war that will never be forgotten. Regards Richard.

Your gallery about Vietnam has merit to be voted! The "Memory" is very important...
I think is not simple to be a "Combat Photographer"...
Please put other photos in this gallery!
Thanks for sharing. Paolo.

I was over in 67 and 68 in the Gulf of Tonkin on the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid CVS II. You have some Great photos. I took a few on the carrier of friends and a few planes. Seems like yesterday. I guess we all are getting old.
